Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Lead Fluidstack Labs: the team qualifying next-generation compute, network, and rack hardware ahead of fleet deployment.
  • Own the qualification roadmap: what gets tested, to what bar, on what timeline, synced with sourcing and deployment plans.
  • Run the lab as an operation: environments, equipment, and throughput that keep pace with vendor roadmaps.
  • Make the calls: what the fleet standardizes on, backed by your team's data.
What We're Looking For
  • The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've led hardware qualification, systems engineering, or lab teams for compute or infrastructure.
  • You've owned deploy-or-not decisions with real money behind them.
  • You've stood up lab environments and the process discipline to run them.
  • You engage vendors as a peer: roadmaps, escalations, and early access.
  • You publish results the whole company can act on.
  • Bonus: GPU and accelerator systems. NPI processes. Failure analysis programs. Hyperscale hardware.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
